My son and his peegun...

My son has a ‘Ping Gun’ well I am not sure if it is a ‘Ping gun’ or a ‘Pee gun’ it actually sounds more like the latter, so that is what I will call it.
I am a Mum who seriously never wants her child to have a gun, however my son has a gun. In truth it is a stolen pink fake hair dryer, taken from his sisters shelves. He holds it in front of his face, pulls an unfriendly grimace, and goes ‘PPPSSSHHHT’. In a marginally violent three year old kind of way.

Whilst walking through the supermarket yesterday he ‘Peegunned’ one old lady, one shop assistant and a lot of vegetables, in fact in truth he publically ‘peegunned’ the whole shop. And at one point after much loud shooting I said to him. ‘Jahli what happens when you Peegun some one?’ And he looked at me as if I was stupid and then said ‘They change colour of course!’ So since then my view of peegunning has changed.

A friend today said to me that I have to come to terms with the fact that this is what boys do, if they don’t have guns they make them out of sticks or hair dryers. However I won’t buy him a gun and never will. But for now I am happy and can cope with this fact. The colour of the world is changing due to my sons pink hair dryer, oh I mean peegun of course.
